Story
It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

Story
Eveline Armstrong is fiercely loved and protected by her powerful clan, but outsiders consider her "touched." Beautiful, fey, with a level, intent gaze, she doesn't speak. No one, not even her family, knows that she cannot hear. Content with her life of seclusion, Eveline has taught herself to read lips and allows the outside world to view her as daft. But when an arranged marriage into a rival clan makes Graeme Montgomery her husband, Eveline accepts her duty -unprepared for the delights to come.

Something's wrong with her perfect marriage, but Kiara Eason isn't sure what. Her ambitious husband, Rashad, is the last person who'd ever cheat - and she never imagined she'd stray. Still, why is she confiding so much in her handsome coworker, Eddison? And why is she wondering what would happen if she put her marriage to the ultimate test - secretly setting Rashad up with a younger woman to see if he's tempted?

Story
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I'd never been able to forget - even though he so easily forgot about me - and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you've had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless prank call. Instead I went off on him - unloading 13 years of pent-up emotions. I didn't think he'd call me back.

Nestled on the Oregon coast is a small town of rocky beaches and rugged charm. Locals love the land’s unspoiled beauty. Developers see it as a potential gold mine. When newcomer Hank Cooper learns he’s been left an old friend’s entire beachfront property, he finds himself with a community’s destiny in his hands. Cooper has never been a man to settle in one place, and Thunder Point was supposed to be just another quick stop. But Cooper finds himself getting involved with the town. And with Sarah Dupre, a woman as complicated as she is beautiful.

What do you do when a sexy older man moves into your family’s summer rental? Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself - over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least. But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake - not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of.

Our prisons and mental hospitals are filled with tragic stories like Tuesday Storm's. Her early childhood was riddled with torturous "games" and violent physical attacks. She was isolated from the rest of her family, locked in an attic with nothing but a bare bed and a bucket for a toilet, and fed just enough to be kept alive. The experts say it's next to impossible to find the soul's light in a dark past like Tuesday's.

After several decades of looking for true love and never finding it, aging model and lingerie designer, Alexa Ranger, has finally given up the search. A couple of years ago, she got tired of the game completely and just stopped dating. Now friends and family keep her mostly content, so it's shocking at 50 years old to find herself suddenly wanting a sex life again. It's even more shocking to be attracted to a much younger man this time. She definitely thinks Casey Carter is sexy, but not handling her own age well, Alexa just can't get passed their 12 year age difference to even consider a fling.

I barely remembered Chelsea Airy. That wasn't true - we'd gone out once, and we'd been friends for a while after. But I hadn't heard so much as a peep from her since I'd gotten married. I'd reached out a handful of times, but she'd quit responding and fell off the face of the earth.

An Irish mobster. A missing friend. Two loyalties, ripping me apart. I had a plan. Get in, get my information, and get out. Easy, right? Turns out, infiltrating the Irish mafia isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I just wanted a soldier. Someone I could flirt with to get me in the door. That's when Lachlan Crow noticed me. Problem was, he wasn't a soldier. No, he was next in line for the throne of the Irish underworld. And he was determined to hate me from the outset.

Dear Hating Review (the one with spoliers)
- By Samilicious on 01-30-20
By: Ellen Hopkins
Publisher's summary
Thirteen years: That's how long Kara Salinger stays married to Danny Morino, which is a very long time considering his abusive behavior toward her. But eventually Kara musters up the courage and strength to leave Danny. And with that first step, she begins a great journey in search of her own "happily ever after".
Kara is 32 when she starts anew. She's been with just one man and has only one friend. Yet she forges ahead, trying out Internet dating - to comical effect - and learning about dating, sex, and friendship along the way to discovering that there are many types of families in this world.
Join Kara on her journey, and be prepared for many twists, turns, and surprises. Take a Piece of My Heart will make you laugh, cry, and experience just about every other human emotion. It might even make you blush a little, as Kara's candor is sometimes brazen. You never know what words may spew out of her mouth as she experiences life's ups and downs - but rest assured, they're always honest, heartfelt, and hopeful.

Five minutes after walking through the door, I hated the sexy Greydon West. I wondered why he’d ever had kids in the first place. The broody, single father of two didn’t know the meaning of the word fun. The only things my regimented, hot-tempered boss seemed to care about were his ridiculous spreadsheets. But for some reason, his prickly, stiff-mannered disposition made me curious about what was hidden beneath that exterior. Then, one day I stumbled upon the key that unlocked the mystery of Dr. West.

Drake Foster owns my heart, my entire being. He always will. As the pieces of what happened to us begin to fall into place, I realize our relationship had been sabotaged.

Story
I fell in love with Holden York when I was six years old. Most of my youth came with spiral notebooks filled with doodles, wedding plans, and "Janelle York" looped in bubbly handwriting. However, one night in Vegas changed everything. I woke up to more than just a fantasy of my brother's best friend. Five years later, I'm standing on his doorstep confronting him about the secret he kept from me. If you think this is the story of how we rode off into the sunset together...You're so wrong.

funny and refreshing
If you could sum up Take a Piece of My Heart in three words, what would they be?
Loving, funny, refreshing
Have you listened to any of Jennifer Bossio’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not and I enjoyed her reading.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Sex with Mitch
Any additional comments?
I thoroughly enjoyed Take a Piece of my heart. Most books I read now-a-days are alternating perspective, here just the female perspective was refreshing.
Kara married young to whom she thought was her true love. After years of abuse she was able to break the cycle. The twists and turns with the people she meets along the way are funny, loving, and unexpected. Nelson made me laugh out loud. Yet there are some really heartfelt moments where I find myself fighting back the cry.
I also enjoyed being able to follow the character through many years of her life. Most books are such short time frames and always leave you wondering. Knowing the outcome for Kara made me smile.
Would definitely recommend!!

Forget As Kara Has And You'll Like It, I Did
Kara Salinger married her first boyfriend when they were 17 and 18 years old, she put up with Danny Morino and his physical and verbal abuse for 13 years
The author tells the story in first person and also addresses the listener directly, which was kind of strange to me. However, I got used to it.
Kara has optimistic plans for a rundown house that she was able to purchase with assistance of some kind. She meets Dave, a builder who is tall, handsome etc. and when they shake hands and later hug, there are all kinds of feelings and instant connection. However, they are both married to other people and step away from one another before kissing.
After Kara gets her nerves up to pack all her belongings (nine garbage bags), pack them in her crappy car, she leaves Danny.
As she is now 'free' [from Danny] she immediately says yes to a guy she met on the internet, he invites her to go on a tropical vacation after only a 'real' date. Then it seems as if the abuse never happened, like she had a complete personality change. She goes out on dates and flirts and grumbles ... little regard to her former life.
She meets Mitch, has coffee and maybe one or two dates with him and he invites her on a pre-booked already paid for vacation in Mexico. She immediately says yes without hesitation. This is where I realized that I need to suspend reality; a woman who was abused (described in graphic detail) and accept the complete reality changing character, as she is and go with the flow.
Kara begins to be lighthearted and humorous as she and Mitch are at their five-star resort. On the vacation they do nothing nefarious and there is no hanky-panky. Mitch and Kara discussed everything and both decide they want to wait until they know it is a serious relationship and not just a rebound hook up for Kara. .
When they return home there is an order for Kara to leave her house immediately. It just so happens that Mitch has a spare cottage on his property, she will have her privacy from him. He will charge sure the same rent as her house and she can agree to help with all his animals and help with the renovations to the house. Perfect!
The relationship experiences highs and lows, new characters are introduced and old ones reintroduced.... I really enjoyed it, once I got over/accepted that Kara was written in a way that forgot any of her past abuse and embraced her new life.
Jennifer Bossio was an adequate narrator. She didn't distract or take anything away from the story. However, her performance did not inspire or add anything, in my opinion. If I see she is the narrator of another book, I'll listen.
*I received this book in exchange for my review,.

loved it !!
I thought this was a truly amazing story and very close to home in the lives of many. I love the honesty and true grit from staying thinking it's love to rebound to the real deal. I love the HEA because it shows there can be light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
I was a little disappointed in the narrator at times she seemed very robotic with very little to no emotion just reading from a page and other times she hit the nail on the head with the sarcasm. Over all I loved it!!

EXCELLENT BOOK!!
This story is fantastic. The story line is a rough one to read, but so down to earth. At first I was put off that the majority of the story was TOLD by the main character, but the narration done by Jennifer Bossio was so good that it was if SHE was simply telling a story to me. This is a story I definitely will be recommending to others!

Super story. Great reading. Didn't want it to end.
If you could sum up Take a Piece of My Heart in three words, what would they be?
Next hit movie!
What did you like best about this story?
It was satisfyingly heartbreaking!
Which scene was your favorite?
Casa de jailhouse! But the restaurant scene was cool too.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I related to Kara. The voice person brought her sassy sarcastic nature to life. But, what i really loved was the sweetness in her voice at times. The heart of each character spoke through.
Any additional comments?
Please write more Diane Rose Duffy. Please read more Jennifer Bossio. Enough said!

Take a Piece of My Heart was an Excellent Listen
TAKE A PIECE OF MY HEART is a wonderful contemporary romance novel not to be missed. DIANE ROSE DUFFY is a terrific author. This book has everything including charm, wit, grit, heart and soul and everything in between. This was such an incredibly good story that I’m almost at a loss for words.
Kara Salinger is one tough cookie who you can’t help but like right from the start. After thirteen years, she decides she’s had enough crap from Danny when she comes home from work and finds a not so nice surprise. And that’s not the worst of it. He’s also abusive. She has nowhere to go and a friend offers for her to stay in a cottage located on his property that he’s been wanting to fix up and she agrees with only one condition. No strings attached. There’s several fun characters in this story including Krista, the smart, tell it like it is little girl who always speaks her mind and usually its in public. I found myself laughing out loud several times. One of my favorite parts of the story was when Mitch brought a friend named Em home who was pregnant and Kara was beside herself. She thought what any woman would think but once she learned the truth, she learned a hard lesson about judging someone without walking in their shoes. To me that was pivotal to the whole story.
JENNIFER BOSSIO. What a fabulous job she did narrating this audiobook. She was a natural, sounding as if my best friend was talking to me. I loved the way she read this story. Her voice inflections were perfect. Beyond perfect. This was a prime example of author/reader being in sync. She was Kara Salinger. She embraced this book and channeled her character in such an amazing way making it entirely real. I’ll be watching for more of her outstanding work as well.

WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY
Though the main theme is the serious problem of domestic violence, this story shines with wonderful characters. Kara, who escapes a violent marriage tells her story with bravery and humor. I absolutely loved every character (well except Danny). The words that came out of Kara's mouth were at times hilarious~her mind did not have a filter. Debbie, Mitch, and D.J. were all so supportive. Ending and epilogue were just perfect! Congratulations to the author, Diane Rose Duffy, for the beautiful story and the narrator, Jennifer Bossio, for her superb performance. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

4 ½ Stars
This was such an enjoyable listen .
One of those stories that you long to know how it will end , but at the same time don't want it to end. It brought out all the different feelings , fear, humour, love.
It grabs you right from the start, making you wonder if this is going to be a really dark sided story, but things do lighten up ,for Kara, but don't get less complicated .(I don't want to add spoilers)
nicely narrated by Jennifer Bossio
